Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative ROman brooch, probably a Polden Hill type. The length of the brooch from the head to the lower edge of the bow is 32.1mm and the width across the wings is 21.5mm. The brooch weighs 9.04g. The wings are semi-circular with a wing cap. One of the wings is missing. The axis bar, spring and pin are also missing. The bow head is humped and undecorated. The bow tapers towards a broken edge. This break is not a recent break. The catchplate is therefore also missing.
The surface of the brooch has patches of a mid grey/green coloured patina, otherwise the surface is corroded and abraded. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative ?Polden Hill | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
